Ingredients

🍗 4 pieces Chicken breasts
🧄 1 tablespoon garlic powder
🧅 1 tablespoon onion powder
🌶️ 1 tablespoon paprika
🥚 2 eggs
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🛢️ Oil for frying
🍅 2 cups marinara sauce
🧀 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced
🧀 1 cup Italian style cheese blend (mozzarella, romano, provolone, parmesan & asiago)
🌿 Fresh parsley for garnish
🍝 400g spaghetti

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.
Season thoroughly with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the spices for maximum flavor.

2- Breading Process:

In separate bowls, beat the eggs and place the flour.
Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then coat evenly with flour.
The flour coating should be generous for extra crispiness when fried.

3- Frying the Chicken:

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken breasts until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5-6 minutes on each side.
Once fried, place the chicken breasts in a baking pan.

4- Baking with Sauce and Cheese:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pour marinara sauce generously over each chicken breast.
Top with sliced mozzarella and sprinkle the Italian style cheese blend.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

5- Prepare the Spaghetti:

While the chicken bakes, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and set aside.

6- Serving:

Serve each chicken breast over a bed of spaghetti.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
